Klappentext
***A gorgeous deluxe special edition of Harper Lee's The Land of Sweet Forever nestled within a slipcase. This edition features high production values, a bespoke book cover design and an exclusive piece of extra content from Harper Lee's nephew, Dr. Edwin Lee Conner, providing a glimpse into life with his aunt and the ways in which her novels intersect with this new book of never-been-seen short stories and collected works.***
The New York Times bestseller from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, a posthumous collection of newly discovered writing, offering a fresh perspective on the remarkable literary mind behind To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman.
Featuring an introduction by Casey Cep, Harper Lee's appointed biographer.
'Written with all of Lee's character and descriptive brilliance.' The Times
'A new window into one of America's literary icons.' i Paper
Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon - thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird ; as well as for the darker, late-'50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman , her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery.
The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee's never-before-seen short stories and published nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee's youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.
This collection comes with an introduction by Casey Cep, Harper Lee's appointed biographer, which provides illuminating background for our reading of these stories and connects them both to Lee's life and to her two novels.
Combining Lee's early short fiction and later nonfiction, The Land of Sweet Forever offers an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice.
Praise for The Land of Sweet Forever and Harper Lee:
'Thrilling ... helps explain how the little girl from South Alabama Avenue turned herself into a bestselling author.' Guardian
'Cast[s] a new light on the literary giant.' Sunday Times
'Unmistakably Lee' The Telegraph
